NHS England has received legal advice indicating that key aspects of the Federated Data Platform (FDP) lack a legal basis, requiring potential opt-out options for citizens.
Documents indicate that NHS England's privacy-enhancing technology (PET), necessary for the FDP, requires separate lawful basis to process personal confidential data, risking an opt-out situation.
A recommendation from King's Counsel warned that without a lawful basis for the PET, NHS England would need to let every patient opt out of data sharing.
The controversy surrounding the FDP has been intensified by legal challenges from campaign organizations claiming the platform lacks the necessary legal direction for NHS data sharing.
